How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, thought about possible ethics questions, and read nearly every page on the College of Pharmacy website.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were impressive, students were very friendly and open, and the admissions staff was friendly and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

Parking near the College of Pharmacy is quite limited. Seriously that is my only complaint.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers do not expect you to know much technical knowledge about pharmacy.

What are your general comments?

The way I approached the interview was to explain to the interviewers why I want to be a pharmacist and how I know I will be a good pharmacist. That mindset helped me greatly, both to calm my nerves and how to approach the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
